some studies ON the Recent Election

| Irpm the Knoxville Journal
We publish this morning the official ~.
turns Of the recent election on the prohibit
ton amendment, M they appear IN the
Nashville election. The full vote 81 the
State ut the presidential election Of 1884
WIS 2jg, ijS, which was the largest vote
ever before pollcd in the State.
The aggregate vote Of all the counties IN
the Stahyht the recent election was ll5,
lp7 against the amendment aud ll7,bOl
votes for IL; total, 272, 70l, ar 1928 In cN-
cess Of the vote pollcd at the last prcsi-
dental election.
A compasHnn NJ the vote In the various
counties Of Fast Tennessee shows that the
vote II this division oi the State WIS 1851
votes less in the election ON the proposed
amendment than IN the presidential cleo
ton Ut 1884, and therefore that the in
crrase In the vote In Middle aud West
Tennessee was 20,3ll votes over that oi the
presidential election.
The only counties In East Tennessee that
gave u larger vote in the election ON the
proposed amendment than on the prcsi-
dental election uf 1884 were Hamilton
and Rhcl, the former giving an increase oi
100 aha the latter of 23l. II may not hc
n curious inct that the nnti-prhhibitinn

votes more than the increase vote oi the
county over that given in the presidential
election.

sections OF the State over the presidential

subject for study. II will be- interesting
10 compare the vote IN the counties aud

would naturally expect to find largr part
ol the increase IN the large counties Of
Davidson aud shelby; but the returns

generally believed and claimed before the
election that the vote un the amendment
would not be- u full vote. This proved "a
be- true in Fast Tennessee. aud the very

Late Thursday night a report was
in circulation in Portland that a row
had occurred on the U. s. Lighthouse
tender Manzdnitd. A reporter OF
the Oregonidn looked up E. T. Peake,
the chief engineer of the AdnzdnitG,
and obtained the following statement
from him: "The trouble was origin.
ally brought about by a question as
to the wages of myself and w. s.
Nudge, first assistant engineer.
Wednesday night being the last day
of the month at quitting time the en-
gineer's crew, including myself and
Mr.. Nudge, left the tender. In
spector Sebree and myself have had
some personal differences, but this
had nothing to do with the present
quarrel. The tender has been short
of a man for five months, or since
Capt. Gregory left last April. Since
then the first officer, Mr.. Richardson,
has run her. Isuppose all of the en-
gineer's crew will go back tomorrow
except myself"

His object is to find the number of
divorces granted in Clatsop county

period of twenty years. This work is
done under an appropriation made last
year for collection of statistics under

of the number of divorces, when and

long they lived together, how many

number OF divorces granted for TWEEN
ty years in Multnomah county was
Sl7; in Clatsop county for the same
period, Sc. He also compiled lis
of the marriages In this county To-
the past twenty years, and found the

Cougars are becoming very bold
and numerous in the Nehalem valley,
SO much so that it is hardly safe for
children 10 be out without the pro-
lection of older persons. On Tues
day evening, says the Mist, two boys,
sons of Alex. McCauley and Mrs
Geo. Stoddard, were hunting up the
cows, accompanied by dog, when @
cougar sprang from the brush near
the roadside, seized the dog in bis
mouth, and made off with it. The
boys say that the dog had only time
for a couple of yelps before it disap,
peared. Recently a cougar visited
the store of Z. +. Sovereign. near the
junction OF the lower Nehalem and
Clatskanie road. in broad daylight
looked in at the door, and turned
around and walked away. There were
several people in the store at the
time. but as they had no weapon
they were compelled to allow the ami
NAL to make its escape. The county
already offers a bounty for cougar
scalps, but as they are dangerous tC
human life as well as destructive oi
stock, it might be well to raise 1t tc
